Is there any uses of crystals in the bible?

Answer 1

In the King James version

the word - crystal - appears 5 times

But it is not a reference to the semi-precious stones we know today, it is a reference to a clear, transparent quartz, or quartz-like mineral.

1. Job 28:17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
2. Eze 1:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
3. Rev 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
4. Rev 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
5. Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
